Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Shen Maomao's home is in City S, which is a small city in the north with a small area and a small population. It is about to break away from the prefecture-level city.

City S has no airport and no bullet trains, so they can only get off the plane from the surrounding big cities, and then transfer to the train.

As soon as he came out of the train station, Shen Maomao couldn't help taking a deep breath.Compared to Nancheng, which is like a steamer, City S is really a summer paradise.

She took a taxi and sat in the back seat with Lou Jingmo.The taxi drove to her house, and when passing by some scenic spots, she was responsible for explaining to Lou Jingmo in a low voice, she looked like a bird in the courtship period - wishing to show all the advantages of her nest to the courtship object to watch.

Because she was going to school, her mother had confiscated the key in her hand, so when she got home, she knocked on the door and found that there was no one at home.

Shen Maomao hurriedly called her mother: "Hello? Where are you guys? Why is there no one at home?"

Shen's mother over there patted her thigh: "Oh! I was so busy that I forgot!"

Shen Maomao: "..."

Shen's mother said again: "Wait a while, I'll hurry back and cook for you..."

Shen Maomao hurriedly interrupted her: "Farewell, goodbye, you are busy with your work, I will take my friend to find a place to have a meal, and then go find you. Where are you?"

Shen's mother: "That's fine. We are in the funeral home. The funeral will start today. Come over and help mom register the gift money later. When you arrive, give me a call. The environment inside is quite complicated. I'm afraid you won't be able to find it." ...Hey, why did you tell your friend about this? It's not a good thing, why don't you arrange a place for her in a while, and don't let her come to the funeral home, how unlucky..."

Because she was driving an external speaker, Lou Jingmo heard everything, so when Shen's mother finished speaking, she interrupted and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I asked to accompany Maomao. I'm afraid she will be alone." Fear."

Shen's mother: "It's too much trouble for you, Xiao Lou, then wait for the evening, and Auntie will go back to make delicious food for you at night."

Lou Jingmo said naturally, "Thank you, Auntie."

As soon as the phone was hung up, Shen Maomao said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not afraid...do I still need you to accompany me?"

Lou Jingmo said quietly: "Flying head man..."

Shen Maomao said seriously: "I think it is necessary for you to accompany me."

The two found a breakfast shop nearby, ate something casually, got up and headed to the funeral home.

For the funeral parlor, Shen Maomao is actually a bit psychologically shadowed.

What kind of man with a flying head... Yasha... and Yaya's mother, Gong Lian, they all met in the copy of the funeral parlor.

Although she knew that there would be no ghosts in reality, it didn't stop her from being afraid, did it?It's like she knows that everything in a horror movie is fake, but she still can't fall asleep after watching it-there is no necessary connection between fake and fear.

There were quite a lot of people in the funeral home, and we could hear bursts of crying coming from the door. I don't know who left this world with the thoughts and sorrow of their loved ones.

Shen Maomao didn't call her mother either, but just reported her cousin's name at the front desk, and the service staff pointed her in a direction.

She took Lou Jingmo's hand and walked in with her, and soon saw Shen's mother sitting at the door receiving the gift money.

Shen Maomao went up to meet her and called Mom.

Mother Shen looked up at her, her eyes lit up immediately, she stood up from her seat and walked towards them.

Shen Maomao opened his arms, ready to receive a loving hug.

Then Mother Shen passed by her and ran directly to Lou Jingmo: "Oh! This is Xiao Lou, right? The big girl is so handsome!"

Shen Maomao: "???"

Lou Jingmo's cheeks were a little pink, and he was a little embarrassed, so he said weakly: "Hello, Auntie..."

Shen's mother's eyes lit up: "this child, don't be embarrassed. When you arrive at your aunt's house, you will be at your own house. What did you eat in the morning? Are you hungry now? Do you want to eat anything else? Let Shen Maomao take you to buy it later. !"

Shen Maomao: "No, mom..."

Shen's mother turned her head: "Go and record the gift account, what are you waiting for?"

Shen Maomao: "..." Did she pick it up? ?

Lou Jingmo waved his hand quickly: "No, no, Auntie, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me, I will just follow Maomao."

Shen's mother was really busy, she grabbed Lou Jingmo and said a few more words, then returned to Shen Maomao, and told her a few words: "Your uncle and aunt came out of the hospital, I have to go in and help look after you. In case the old couple is too sad and have to send them to the hospital, you can collect the money here, don’t overdo it.”

Shen Maomao nodded and urged: "Okay, I understand, you can go in quickly."

Shen's mother said goodbye to Lou Jingmo reluctantly, and walked into the hall step by step.

Shen Maomao: "..." So she really picked it up, right?

Lou Jingmo huddled behind the ceremony table with her, Shen Maomao collected the money, and she was responsible for remembering the names of people, and her good handwriting seemed to give people more face.

When the guests were almost registered, Lou Jingmo took out 200 yuan from his wallet and wrote his name on the gift list.

Shen Maomao stopped her: "What are you doing?"

Lou Jingmo: "It's all here, it's hard to justify without money."

Shen Maomao was surprised and said: "Are you still concerned about the face project?"

Blue veins popped out of Lou Jingmo's forehead.

Whose face is she doing it for?Dead rabbit looking for beating?

Shen Maomao quickly grabbed her hand and rescued himself: "Sister Lou, you are really thoughtful!"

For this kind of thing, if Lou Jingmo doesn't give money, her mother will think that Lou Jingmo is not polite enough; if Lou Jingmo gives money, but she doesn't accept it, her mother may think that Lou Jingmo is just putting on a show; so in the end it is better to accept Well, then her mother will only scold her for taking money from others, and then she will say a few words for Lou Jingmo, and the impression of Lou Jingmo in her mother's heart will soar. Anyway, 200 yuan is not much, it's a big deal for her Bring it back to her from somewhere else.

Shen Maomao didn't realize it yet - he was already thinking about how to help her make a good impression on his mother from Lou Jingmo's perspective.

She put all the money in an envelope, prepared to go in and pay, arranged for Lou Jingmo to wait for her outside, and then went straight into the mourning hall.

As soon as she entered the mourning hall, she heard the weeping of her uncle and aunt.The old couple's hair was gray, their faces were vicissitudes of life, full of sadness, and their eyes were crying.

My cousin didn't have a wife or child, and only had a girlfriend. At this time, the woman was sitting on the corpse display case, crying like pear blossoms and raining, obviously extremely sad.

Shen Maomao narrowed his eyes.

His cousin, who looks average and has no strengths, why can he find such a beautiful girlfriend?What does this woman like about him?Like him eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?Or do you like him doing nothing? ?

Although it is not very good to say that the deceased has been with Golden Retriever for so long, she can naturally recognize that the clothes worn by the woman are a private brand that Golden Retriever often wears. The price of a set of clothes can buy a car that her father often drives. car.

How did a woman with no shortage of money, good looks and exquisite makeup fall in love with someone like her cousin?Is it to help the poor?

After playing the game for too long, Shen Maomao couldn't help but think about it when he saw such a sense of disobedience.She patted Shen's mother on the shoulder, and hooked her fingers when Shen's mother looked at her.

The mother and daughter walked to a small corner where there was no one, and Shen's mother asked her, "What are you doing?"

Shen Maomao pointed at the woman: "Who is this?"

Shen's mother sighed: "If nothing happened to your cousin, she would probably be your cousin."

Shen Maomao asked: "What did she like about Shen Wenwu?"

Mother Shen glared at her: "Is there anyone who talks like that?! You can't say this for your uncle and aunt to hear."

"That's what I'm telling you, I'm sick and I went to them and said, oh, don't interrupt, why did such a beautiful girl fall in love with Shen Wenwu?"

Shen Maomao looked back at the woman, and said, "Her name is Fang Tian. I met your cousin half a year ago. She said that your cousin saved her life, so I want to promise her with my body. Your father and I are the closest." At first, I also wondered if she had some purpose. Your cousin, to put it bluntly, we all know what he is like. But it has been half a year, and the relationship between the young couple is still good, if this kind of thing hadn’t happened , your uncle and aunt may be able to settle a concern..."

At the end, Shen's mother let out a long sigh: "Alas—it's just the two old people who are pitiful."

While the two were talking, Fang Tian almost fainted from crying, begging the two old people to let her touch the corpse, and finally said goodbye to her cousin.

Shen's mother added: "She wanted to touch the corpse before, but this matter is not in compliance with the rules, so your uncle and aunt have never agreed, mainly because they are afraid that Shen Wenwu will pester other girls..."

Shen Maomao nodded to show that he knew.

The uncle and aunt over there really rejected her request again, and in turn comforted her not to be too sad.

Fang Tian held her aunt's hand, choked up and said, "Let me watch the wake that night... let me see him off for the last time..."

Their relatives must come to watch the spirit here. Although Fang Tian has a good relationship with her cousin, she has not been married after all. According to the concept of the older generation, if she is allowed to watch the spirit, it will not only bump into the dead, but also bring harm to the entire Shen family. Bad luck.

So her request was rejected.

Fang Tian looked very disappointed, and leaned back on the transparent glass of the cabinet, looking at the corpse inside intently, with a really affectionate appearance.

Shen Maomao looked at it for a while, and felt that something was wrong - her gaze didn't seem to fall on Shen Wenwu's face, but on... his waist?

No...so wrong...

Thinking about it this way, she patted her mother on the shoulder: "You go there first, I'll have a word with my sister-in-law to persuade her not to be so sad."

"Okay, you young people go talk, I will continue to work."

She sent Shen's mother away, and wandered around Fang Tian's side, wanting to see what she was looking at.

As soon as she got close to the cabinet, her eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but stare at the corpse's hands that were clasped on its stomach—under those hands, there was actually a rectangular card! !

The author has something to say: Let me talk about the funeral process in the article first—I really don’t know much about it. I asked several roommates, and I also googled it, but I still don’t know enough about it. Let’s just assume that the customs in different places are different. .

Let me talk about the feelings of the fourth level-the paper quality of the test paper is good, the attitude of the invigilator is very good, five-star praise, and I will patronize next time!
